About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree from an accredited university in mechanical engineering or a related field, or higher.
  • At least 8 years of experience in mechanical systems design and development.
  • At least 6 years of computer-aided design experience; SolidWorks is preferred.
  • At least 8 years of experience designing manufacturing systems for semiconductor, machining, automation, materials processing, or related industrial capital equipment applications, such as additive manufacturing, semiconductor, solar, robotics, CNC, or biomedical manufacturing equipment design.
  • Experience with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and quality detail drawing documentation.
  • Knowledge of thermal analysis, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and simulation software.
  • Systems-level thinking and experience working on complex mechanical systems.
  • Willingness and ability to work hands-on to build, integrate, and test newly developed systems or subsystems.
  • Ability to work independently.
  • Strong written and oral communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Research, develop, and design mechanical, electromechanical, and/or pneumatic prototypes, systems, and subsystems for capital equipment, including components such as stepper or servo motors, pneumatic pumps, and valves.
  • Perform geometric dimensioning and tolerancing analysis of designs at the system and subsystem level.
  • Conduct system-level integration and validation of designs through testing and troubleshooting.
  • Plan and perform tests to analyze the feasibility, design, operation, and performance of equipment, components, and systems.
  • Improve system performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
  • Document designs, including bills of materials, drawings, and procedures.
  • Oversee and coordinate activities involved in fabrication, operation, application, installation, and repair of mechanical or electromechanical products and systems.
  • Manage small- to mid-sized projects from concept to production.
  • Collaborate with Hardware, Software, and Process teams.
  • Participate in team and other assigned meetings.

Desired Qualifications

  • SolidWorks experience is preferred.

About the Company

Velo3D

End-to-end metal 3D printing solutions

Velo3D provides metal additive manufacturing solutions, offering an end-to-end system that combines advanced Sapphire 3D printers, software, and services to produce complex metal parts that traditional methods can’t create. The printers, paired with software and ongoing support, enable a seamless workflow from design to finished component. A key differentiator is their integrated approach plus the ability to qualify new materials, such as copper alloys, expanding the range of applications in high-tech fields like aerospace, energy, and industrial manufacturing. The company aims to help customers innovate faster by enabling production of parts that were previously un manufacturable, growing through sales of printers and subscription-like software and maintenance services.
